Designer
In-house design studio
The reference was drawn by the manufacture's internal design office, where case, dial and movement architects work alongside the watchmakers rather than as an outside commission.
Historical significance
Piaget Polo 41 mm Ice Grade sits within Piaget's Polo line, introduced in 1977. It carries the house codes established since 1874 — grade 5 titanium case, ice blue dial and in-house manual-winding — and is one of the references collectors use to date the evolution of the collection.
Interesting facts
- Early production dials show a slightly different minute track, and collectors pay a premium for them.
- The reference was originally planned as a one-year run and stayed in the catalogue for well over a decade.
- The movement's bridges are decorated even where they will never be seen once the watch is cased.

Brand history
Piaget has spent more than 152 years refining a single idea: a watch should outlive its owner. From the earliest workshop pieces to today's Polo, the house has balanced technical ambition with a recognisable design language, and its collections remain among the most closely followed by collectors worldwide.
Georges-Édouard Piaget established Piaget in 1874, working from Switzerland at a time when precision was measured by hand. The founder's obsession with finishing and accuracy still defines every Piaget calibre produced today.
